Session
A session is the period in which a poker game is held, or the time that you sit and play. For example, a session may last five hours.
The simple explanation
When you sit down and play until you leave, that is a session. Results are measured by session: you won $200 in a session.
A closer look
Players track sessions to measure results and to manage bankroll. A single session is too short to judge skill, because variance is large. It is better to look at results over many sessions. Setting a stop-loss and a time limit for a session can protect you from tilt.
A practical example
A player plays a five-hour session and wins $300.
